Why is it painful to lift a heavy load with a thin piece of string?

Physics
1 answer:
Aleksandr [31]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

A thin piece of string has lower force than of a heavy load.

When the load is being lifted, the force exerted by the load is much more greater than the string, which eventually hits our hands.

For example, a heavy bag. You tie a thin string to it and try to lift it. The force exerted by the bag will hit the string harder, reaching for your plams. As the thin string has less force, its reaction force is not enough to hit back the greater force. Also, the less the surface area, the more difficult the grip gets. But, if you attach a thick rope or belt, the force exerted my the bag is automatically minimized as the reaction force of the thick rope is near about the action force. Hence, greater the surface area, better the grip.

<em>*action force: force exerted by the bag</em>

<em>*reaction force: the force hit back by the rope</em>

Consider two uniform solid spheres where both have the same diameter, but one has twice the mass of the other. how much larger i
egoroff_w [7]
<span>The moment of inertia of the large sphere will be twice that of the smaller sphere.
   The formula for the moment of inertia for a solid sphere is:
 I = (2/5)mr^2
 where
 I = moment of inertia
 m = mass
  r = radius

   Since both spheres have the same diameter, they also have the same radius, so the only change is their mass. And the moment of inertia is directly proportional to their mass as shown by the above formula. So the sphere with twice the mass will have twice the moment of inertia, or 2 times.</span>

In order to slide a heavy desk across the floor at constant speed in a straight line, you have to exert a horizontal force of 40
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

F = f from Newton’s first law.

Explanation:

since the desk is moved in a straight line at a constant speed, newton first law tell us that the two forces must be equal.

Newton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. since the table has been set in motion by the 400 N force, it will remain in motion unless it is been acted upon by an external force, and this means that the 400 N must be equal to the frictional force for it to have been in motion in the first instance.

levacccp [35]

0.77 m/s2 directed 35° south of west

net force = (-17,-12)

net force = mass * acceleration

(-17,-12) = 27 * (x-acceleration,y-acceleration)

(x-acceleration,y-acceleration) = (-17/27,-12/27) = (-0.629629629..., -0.444...)

angle of acceleration = tan^-1 (-0.444.../-0.629629...) = 35.21759 degrees below negative x-axis.

magnitude of acceleration = sqrt((-0.629629...)^2 + (-0.444...)^2) = 0.77069 (5dp)
